At least she made her own choice. Those who were victims of the Morecambe Bay scandal did not. The deaths of almost a dozen babies were blamed on midwives in ?over-zealous pursuit? of ?natural childbirth at any cost?.

Midwives, and any others, who want ?natural childbirth at any cost? should go and live in the Congo where they might actually do some good.

But it's not just midwives. Organisations like the NTC also need to take a level of responsibility. I've heard so many stories where women said they felt like failures when their plans for natural birth didn't go to plan.


Although to be fair I'm going back 5 years, may be better now.

So Netanyahu confirms what we've suspected for 15 years, that in our brave new world full of useful 'turrists' Israel has no intention of making peace or going for any state solution at all, be it one, two or pie in the sky.


And all those negotiations where people said to the palestinians 'just give in to their demands and stick to peaceful negotiations' were all in entirely bad faith, as was obvious to anyone looking on dispassionately.


And it barely makes the news...are we so jaded?


So given the confirmation that you've perpetuity in a occupational police state or ghetto prison, what would you do?

nets is a wanker of the highest order. he never got over his bro being killed at Entebbe back in the day, has a real hard on for bloody revenge. Its very very sad when the only future is to continue the siege mentality - ramping up the fallacy at home that the US is abandoning them has helped a great deal. just another sad day for the region

The BBC is a Global name well respected around the World.

It cannot be seen to be Demonstrating Double Standards...


If a less prominent employee were to punch someone it would be instant dismissal. No questions asked.


Clarkson is a vulgar A**ehole. His comments only funny ?

to those of similar 'Could not give a s**t about anyone else ' attitude.


I used to enjoy the programme but it started to become 'Sameish' and unbeleveable.


It was a bit of a stop gap for me on a Sunday night whilst waiting for Pub O'clock time.


Can't say I will miss Clarkson. Can't see the programme returning to our screens.

I had hoped that there would be an alternative petition to keep Clarkson sacked. Along the lines that John Lydon's brother campaigned to keep Hugh Strangler in Pentonville when he had been put away for a short time for possession of a class A drug.


Anyway, not an astute observation but in the same way that Frasier, Roseanne, Happy Days and no doubt other US comedies, Top Gear became forumlaic long ago. Yes entertaining, and nowt wrong with a guilty pleasure or two, but you knew the plot before it started.

People power at its best.

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
